The American economy is not doing very wel-

>The American economy is not doing very wel-

Oh really, Sup Forums? Then explain THIS:

>Ford has thrown down the gauntlet with its new “Super Duty Limited” line, whose crown jewel is an F-450 that can cost over $100,000.

>With the Texas State Fair coming up tomorrow, Ford’s new Super Duty Limited line offers Texans three new ways to waste spend their hard-earned cash on Super Duty trucks. They can buy an $80,835 F-250 Super Duty Limited, an $82,010 F-350 Super Duty Limited, or the crème de la crème model, the F-450 Super Duty Limited (all of which are 4x4s).

>The big boy in the lineup starts at $87,100, but with all the boxes ticked, that price can reach $94,445. Throw on your state’s 6 or 7 percent sales tax, and you’re hovering right around 100 large.

>In its press release, Ford says over half of its Super Duty sales are of Lariat, King Ranch or Platinum trims, so it only makes sense to keep cranking that luxo-truck dial.

bait thread sage and report op

My local economy is terrible, there is a youth unemployment of 23% in my area. I still see red hot cars buzzing about

The economy means slim to people involved in law, medicine and people who make money from investments (obviously all to an extent)

Hardly. One of the big themes on here is that "the economy is fucked." And yet, in the US, Ford is introducing trucks that will cost close to $100,000 each, in response to strong demand for slightly-cheaper models.

That means there are a LOT of people out there with a lot of money to burn on what is effectively a luxury good - people aren't buying $80,000 trucks for "performance," which you could obtain easily enough by buying an old beater truck from the 70's or 80's for a few thousand. They are spending because they have excess capital sloshing around and want to have fun.

>american economy
>cards
>Ford

lmao!

you don't even buy your cars, you lease them!

LMAO!

half of your population doesn't even have enough money in the bank to cover a medical emergency

LMOA

>Ford is selling high-end versions of its trucks
>somehow this means the economy is doing well

Come on, burger, it's still too early to be making logical fallacies like that.

I can't really speak for America, but in Canada, guys who are doing skilled trades and contracting are absolutely rolling in money right now. More jobs than there are guys to do them.
These are the kind of guys that are buying super trucks like this. You see tons of them around. There's a big market for them.

>LOT
few*

What's the point of those trucks?

Luxury of the wealthy is not indicative of the state of the common man

The rest of the world thinks those trucks are tasteless and obnoxious, America.

Take note.

>Implying the rest of the world could even afford these powerful machines

>100k
>for a truck

Ya'll some fuckbois if you finance that shit.
whites are overpaid anyway so go ahead and buy it, easy come easy go

F-350 has the same engine as the F-450. Checkmate atheists.

I'm wrong. F-250 engine = F-350 engine

For rich people to tow their boats or travel trailers during their outdoorsing trips.

Are they paying cash for this truck. Or taking out a loan

>5yards to the gallon
nice spending habits. but don't worry, the fed will save y'all.

I mailed Ford to work with a television channel to produce a show with a challange in winter Norway.


Europe Transit Custom vs American F150.

Could be a cool show if you get the drivers into some really tough shit

>100k
>for a truck
that is never used for what it is designed for

You faggots will never know the joy of pulling a girl aside in a cafe while her boyfriend is next to her, seducing her with your eyes, a few words, and a hand on the thigh. Seeing her boyfriend turn around, nervous darty eyes, with an anxious laugh and stutter - try to stop you. Smiling and threatening to fuck him raw instead, as you clasp the girl’s hand. Got her number and fucked her that night.

My truck is bigger than your truck and it's better than yours

I heard they can run over protesters really well too

They are super comfy inside. Lots of room. Insanely powerful too. They are a luxury "car" for traditional/rural Americans.

They can do this, or just be a daily driver. If you can drop $100k on a nice truck, you don't care about the mileage.

Not many bongs own a boat or camper or even both. I don't think most bongs even have enough room to keep either one of those things on their property. So only the wealthier people csn afford to keep boats stored at other locations. American is a big place with lots of inland freshwater lakes so naturally more people own that sort of shit. Which is why so many Americans will frequently have a truck to supplement their car, and with fuel so cheap here we can afford to use them. That being said, an f350-f450 is overkill, even the f250's are a bit much. It's usually only the hicks that drive the oversized superduties to compensate for small dick size.

Nice try burger but I own a fleet of F650s to tow my superyacht

Not many are going to buy it. Ford trucks are generally used as work trucks and no one can justify buying a 'luxury' truck.

Niggers

If you say so bong, I bet you have a private parking garage in london to park all that shit don't you? All we need over here is an F150 and a 20ft bass boat but I guess you need to go big or go home when you live on an island.

So is this like a /po/ gun thread, only americans are privileged enough to post?
